Quiver: Gorgon's
This extraordinary quiver will summon one stone-tipped, living bone-shaft arrow per turn from its hold. If shot from a Gorgon's Bow, and strikes its opponent in the flesh, the victim must successfully make an avoidance-roll vs. "Petrification" or be turned to stone for 1-D6 turns. This degree of effect can only be acomplished if in the hands of a Gorgon or Medusa, however it is highly sought after by others as it causes more damage. In the hands of any other creature, it will simply cause +50% more normal arrow damage.
While turned to stone, the victim will sustain 1/10 normal weapon damage, has a 9 damage-reduction, and cannot defend. An offensive roll of 10+ will be all that is needed to strike the statue.
